Ok ready for the simplicity in this dish?  This whole dish consists of only pesto, chicken and mozzarella cheese!  Simply whip up a quick basil pesto which consists of throwing tons of fresh basil, pine nuts, garlic, lemon juice, parmesan cheese and olive oil into the food processor and blending until smooth.  Make this even easier by buying a jar of premade pesto, that's your call ;)!

 

Simply coat your organic chicken breasts in the pesto, top with mozzarella cheese and bake in the oven until bubbly and brown!  Yes, that's it!  We told you this was a good one!

 

Yum, this was delicious.  We placed our chicken over a trio of sautéed kale, spinach and asparagus.  You should know by know we love veggies and eat as many GREENS as we can possibly fit into our bodies! 

 

Hope you enjoy!
